Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[1276] Josh. xxiii. 7, LXX.
[1277] Namely, the gods.
[1278] Ex. xxii. 28. The mss. omit θεούς, though they insert it in the passage as quoted a little before this. One ms. reads “the ruler” with our version.
Chapter X.—Peter’s Explanation of the Apparent Contradictions of Scripture.
[1283] [This statement of the subjective method of interpretation is in curious harmony with the prevalent theory of this work respecting the mixture of error and truth in the Scriptures.—R.]
[1284] ἰδέας.
[1285] μορφῆς.
[1286] Probably τολμήματι should be changed into ὁρμήματι, or some such word: making known that an act of injustice has been committed by taking its departure.
[1287] This might possibly be translated, “let him leave him who exists to him who exists;” i.e., let him leave the real God to man, who really exists.
[1288] Wieseler proposes, “for he exists to no one.”
Chapter XI.—Gen. I. 26 Appealed to by Simon.
Chapter XII.—Peter’s Explanation of the Passage.
[1290] This is the only passage in the Homilies relating to the σοφία. The text is in some parts corrupt. It is critically discussed by Uhlhorn, some of whose emendations are adopted by Dressel and translated here.
Chapter XIII.—The Contradictions of the Scriptures Intended to Try Those Who Read Them.
[1292] [On the theory of the Scriptures which is here set forth, compare ii. 38, etc., iii. 42, etc.—R.]
[1293] Deut. xiii. 1 ff.
[1294] The change from the singular to the plural is in the Greek.
[1295] Lit., “But it had been said that he who tried, tried.” The idea seems to be, Before the removal to Babylon true prophets tested the people by urging them to worship these gods; but after that event false prophets arose who really wished to seduce the Jews from the worship of the true God.
[1296] Lit., “nor can we be made to stumble from the Scriptures nor by any one or anything else.”
Chapter XIV.—Other Beings Called Gods.
